I'd say get a HD7970 and overclock it to a GHz Edition or get a GTX670 and overclock it to a GTX680. but looking at W1zzards latest review Club3d HD 7870 jokerCard the HD 7970 GHz beats the GTX680 in most benches... But not by much and remember both top cards can arguable be the best if someone overclocks them... You can't go wrong with either card.. So, I'd get the cheapest with the most Vram and right now that card is the HD 7970 @ $379.99 with a $20 MIR which brings it to $359.99.

Oh right. So why is a single gtx670 better? or is it just not nessescary to get a 680?

its your money get the best gpu possible if you want, tpu members will tell you that you dont need top of the line to enjoy games at the best fps, a gtx680 isnt neccesary but it is the best nvidia card atm with a single gpu

While the difference isn't much in gaming, I don't know why people are saying the GTX 680 is better than the HD7970 GHZ edition. According to Wizzards reviews, with the 12.11 drivers, the 7970 ghz edition out performs the GTX 680 at all resolutions higher than 1680*1050, and even the regular HD7970 outperforms the GTX 680 at 2560*1600 resolution(which happens to be my current resolution).

Short answer: Workstation card that fills specific purposes (CAD, modeling,rendering, media processing, etc) of professionals who have money to spend in order to gain better performance and save time; not made for gamers.
